Lost console when exiting X

Hi folks.
I'm running 6.2-RELEASE, and recently installed Xorg. I've been using
Fluxbox as my window manager, and everything has been working fine until
recently. I cannot think of any major changes I've made to create this
problem.
Here's what happens. Once in a while (I can't reproduce the problem by
doing anything specific), I exit X, and my TTY does not come back. I've
verified the system has not crashed by SSHing in to the system -- where
I can `startx`, and the X session resumes. I've tried
[Ctrl]+[Alt]+[Backspace], which does kill the X session, but TTY does
not resume as expected.
I am using an nVidia GeForce 5500MX with the x11/nvidia-drivers,
x11/nvidia-settings, and x11/nvidia-xconfig ports. Fluxbox and all Xorg
dependencies are also installed from ports. (Yes, I did update my ports
tree before installing.)
The only change I've made to my xorg.conf was:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
and the default mode for resolution. I've also disabled the above
section, thinking it was a compositing problem, but that did not resolve
it.
Any ideas, or pointers on where to look would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
